Editing Lepiota (section)

==Description==
Fruit bodies of ''Lepiota'' species are almost all [[agaric]]oid (''[[Lepiota viridigleba]]'' is the sole [[secotioid|sequestrate]] species in the genus<ref name="Ge 2013">{{cite journal |vauthors=((Ge Z-W)), Smith ME |title=Phylogenetic analysis of rDNA sequences indicates that the sequestrate ''Amogaster viridiglebus'' is derived from within the agaricoid genus ''Lepiota'' (Agaricaceae) |journal=Mycological Progress |year=2013 |volume=12 |issue=1 |pages=151–5 |doi=10.1007/s11557-012-0841-y|bibcode=2013MycPr..12..151G |s2cid=18543761 }}</ref>), most (but not all) having comparatively small caps (less than {{convert|10|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} in diameter) and slender stems. The cap cuticle (surface skin) typically splits as the cap expands, breaking up into concentric rings of scales towards the margin. The gills beneath the cap are white to cream (rarely yellow) and are free (not joined to the stem). The gills are covered by a partial veil when young, which typically ruptures to leave a cuff-like ring (sometimes ephemeral) often with additional scaly remains on the stem. Several species have a distinct, often rubbery, smell. The spore print is white to cream. The spores are usually (but not always) [[dextrinoid]] (turning red-brown in an [[iodine]]-based reagent).<ref name=Candusso/><ref name=Bon1993/>
